    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Optometry
    • Biomaterials Science

    Background:

    • Rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses with high oxygen permeability are a modern alternative for daily wear contact lenses.
    • Despite material advancements, compromised properties can lead to lens-induced complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify and describe common complications associated with high oxygen-permeable rigid daily wear lenses.
    • To provide practitioners with evidence-based treatment plans and alternative management strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series review of eight typical lens-induced complications.
    • Development of treatment protocols and alternative therapeutic approaches.
    • Creation of a summary table for practitioner reference.

    Main Results:

    • Eight distinct categories of lens-induced complications were identified and described.
    • Specific treatment plans were outlined for each complication.
    • Alternative management options were presented.

    Conclusions:

    • High oxygen-permeable RGP lenses, while beneficial, necessitate careful management to mitigate potential complications.
    • The provided treatment strategies and summary table serve as a valuable resource for eye care professionals managing RGP lens wearers.
